He followed that up with an all timer quote to double down on being the bad guy, but is he? The growing frustration in Toronto is finally getting to Auston Matthews, as the Hart Trophy contender lost his cool in the Heritage Classic and earned himself a 2 game suspension for a cross-check at the worst possible time. How vulnerable are the Leafs right now? And finally, all indications are that the trade deadline is going to be a slow affair this year, which many of the biggest names with potential to be moved playing on teams fighting for a playoff spot.

Tune in twice a week for The Cross-Check NHL Show, where hosts Andrew Berkshire and Mary Clarke bring their distinct perspectives as NHL writers to the forefront. This isn't just a recap of last night's scores; it's a deep, analytical dive into the stories that are actually shaping the league. Every Tuesday, they take the week's most talked-about narratives-whether it's a surprising trade rumor, a team's sudden slump, or a player's breakout performance-and hold them up to the light. They cross-check popular opinion against their own sharp observations from watching the games and, crucially, against what the underlying statistics reveal. You'll hear conversations that move beyond hot takes to find the substance underneath. Then, on Thursdays, the scope widens with insightful interviews. Andrew and Mary are joined by a rotating roster of special guests, from analysts and insiders to former players, who are among the smartest minds in hockey. These discussions provide even greater context and expertise on the evolving landscape of the sport. Produced as part of the Locked On Podcast Network, this podcast is for fans who crave a more thoughtful and nuanced understanding of the NHL, where instinct meets evidence in every episode.
